new to board...just about to venture to isla mujeres...

[purlgurl]

hi all,

just discovered your board through google searches and clicking here and there...just about to do a refresher dive and then it's off to isla mujeres, quintana roo mexico...

got my naui cert in early 1999 in monterey california, but have only done a handful of dives off kauai and bali. always a little nervous since i don't have alot of dives under my (weight) belt. (sorry couldn't resist.)

just bought a underwater housing unit for my canon s400 from reading a few good threads posted here. i'm just going stock, no external strobe. hopefully it'll be ok.

ta, purlgurl

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or repsond to in this forum.

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest! If you'll simply click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. My favorite is at the bottom: Singles Dive Club.

Check out our New2Scuba, but you know - I wouldn't carry a camera the first 50 dives or so. Felt I needed to learn to dive better first, as they can be distracting.

Sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help? PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message."

Purlgurl,

Welcome to ScubaBoard!!
Hope to see you weaving your way through the threads.
Good call getting back in the water!

Now for my stock message, which is still under construction:
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!

Tom

Welcome To The Board. Enjoy Your Dive Trip

Glad to see you back in the water and choosing to do the refresher course. It's always a good idea to err on the side of caution.

Be sure to post a trip report about conditions in Mexico. They're always a great way for the rest of us to keep up with the ever-changing situations around the Carribean basin.

Welcome to the board. Best wishes and safe ascents,
Grier
